Alpha Nu has a long-standing tradition of academic excellence. In fact, we have been at the top of the IFC GPA standings ninety-four times in the last one hundred semesters. In Fall 2020, Alpha Nu had an average GPA of 3.589, which is 0.422 points higher than the all-male average. It is also 0.385 higher than the all-fraternity average. It was the first place in fraternity grades and second place for all greek life. Alpha Nu also is currently in first place for cumulative GPA among fraternities. Over the past 8 years, Alpha Nu has been 1st for ICF GPA 5 times, and second the other 3.

A key aspect of the academic success we have had is our determined effort as a chapter to ensure that our freshmen make a healthy transition from high school to college. Many freshmen students find the new lifestyle of college difficult to adapt to, and personal time management is a hard thing to implement into an environment that barely resembles that of a high school. In order to best accommodate this transition, we require three study hours a night for our freshmen, Sunday through Thursday. The aim and purpose of study hours are to give new members a dedicated time of their day where they can have access to academic assistance from the active chapter, and be able to focus on their studies without distraction. In the Fall of 2023, the Freshman Pledge Class (PC ‘27) had a GPA of 3.82. We also require study hours for active members who do not meet our academic requirements as a chapter. 

For Fall 2023, we had a whole-house average GPA of 3.71.
